Unchosen: Attracted to You in Every Way
I knew from the start that this road bent the wrong way,yet somehow fate kept placing youright in front of me—a temptation I wasn’t strong enough to resist.I tried to tell myselfthis was just fun,something light,something I could walk away from.But who was I kidding?I was drawn to youin every way a person can be… Continue reading

Salt I Choose to Swallow
I know the cost of this –the way a heart can splitlike a shoreline giving in to the tide,knowing the water will always returneven as it erodes the sand. Still, I move toward you. You quiet the storms in my mind,turn the noise into something soft,like rain tapping on a windowinstead of thunder shaking the… Continue reading

What We Can’t Undo Now
When your lips left mine,the silence didn’t feel empty—it felt like a held breath,like the world was waitingfor you to pull me back in.I stood there, heart unsteady,tasting the moment we’d tried so hard to avoid,wanting you to close the distance again,to guide me back into your armsthe way you did without thinking.You looked at… Continue reading

Wishing for What Isn’t Mine
Sitting here with nothing to do, my thoughts drift back to you—to the way I wish things could be, even if they never will.These feelings stay tucked away most days,but tonight they rise to the surface,asking to be spoken, asking to be known.I’m not always happy with you;sometimes your words cut deeper than you realize.You… Continue reading

Where Did Our Almost go?
I said I needed distanceI said I needed spaceBut now I lie awake wonderingWhy the silence feels heavierThen anything we ever sharedI miss the way you touched meLike you weren’t sure if you shouldYet somehow you always knewI wanted you toI miss the way we flirtedIn that soft, secret languageOnly we seemed to understandA smile,… Continue reading

Distance Between
Once, his words were lanterns – Soft flames drifting toward me,Lightning corners I didn’t know were dark.Laughter moved like music,And the air was warm with maybe.Now, the melody falters – He steps back,And silence grows strongI watch the spaces widen,A quiet oceanWhere no bridge will hold.The thought lingers – A fragile petal pressed between pagesWhat… Continue reading

The Quiet Ache of Wanting
He walked in, looking amazing, and I felt myself light up under his gaze.But as I replay each moment, I wonder – did I lose sight of who I am?What started out as simple exchanges became months of blurred boundaries.He never spoke of her, and I never asked, but was that my own denial?When I… Continue reading

Hallmark Moment (I Didn’t Get)
He spoke firstA quiet flirtatious wrapped in a smileA spark he tossed my wayNot knowing it would ignite something in meAnd the way he lingered – Fingers brushing mineHis hand at my backIt felt like a truth he wantedBut couldn’t claimThe connection was realCharged, dangerously close to somethingThat could’ve been a Hallmark momentIf life were… Continue reading

The Goodbye You Didn’t Say
I want to hate you for what you did but every time I reach for anger my hands close on nothing. No reason. No clean edge sharp enough to cut you out. I wasn’t looking to catch feelings for you, I was steady, guarded, keeping my heart quiet. And then you walked in looking like… Continue reading

One Kiss Away
He battles himself every time he’s near meI can see it in the way his jaw tightensAs if he’s holding back something that wants to break freeIt would break something open in him, in usHe stands too close, close enough that the heat of him wraps around meClose enough that my body leans in without… Continue reading
